HPI Nitro Monster King Freestyle

[mrbraunfulo1]

How many trucks/cars do u have nice vid like the arena

[CmonsterFreak]

@mrbraunfulo1 i have three "hobby grade" trucks, the hpi nitro monster king, hpi wheely king, and the red cat racing ground pounder. p.s. thanks i kinda took over that side of the house. lol

[ukstreetracer]

ha, love the arena, way better use of a garden than flowers

[1999151]

dude the plastic tires are so that the truck doesnt flip

[CmonsterFreak]

@1999151 i know. but i have also driven mine with mud thrashers on the front and it was wayy better.

[1999151]

@CmonsterFreak oh ok

[skaterock1234]

i just got mine today. its sad they discontinued them, but i got it cheap!

[racinboy234567]

well the NMK has been discontinued

[CmonsterFreak]

@racinboy234567 i think i might cry, but at least i got mine in time. getting parts is gunna be a bitch...

[racinboy234567]

i know, at least it shares some parts with the wk =/

[SVPrelude]

@racinboy234567 Why? This is the first I'm hearing about it! I was getting ready to buy one :(

[racinboy234567]

Horrid sales, hpi dropped the prices in the later months from 300 to 130 and still couldn't sell them. Only think thats kept the WK around has been the crawler crowd, the crawler crowd saw no use in a nitro crawler, thus the death of the NMK, its been dead for a year now.

[xjonny26]

I would like to see a nitro king stretched out and lowered.

[xjonny26]

Very nice control :) so honest opinion which one is more fun- electric or nitro WK?

[CmonsterFreak]

@xjonny26 oh man, that is a tough question. as of right now i think that the electric one is more fun for what i do. like the whole scale monster jam track style that i do works really well with the electric. the nitro as you can see in the video is very difficult to string together a good freestyle. the nitro is still fun to take to a construction site or something, but for what i do, electric all day.

[mtcthor]

Do you still have this track? if so you should re-build it to the Philly track.

[CmonsterFreak]

@mtcthor no i don't have a track at all right now. but have you ever noticed that Atlanta, Philly, and Minneapolis #1 all were the same track set-up but just slightly different?

[mtcthor]

@CmonsterFreak Yea I have noticed that.

What kinf of track do you have now?

[CmonsterFreak]

@mtcthor right now, the spot where i do my thing is flat. i had to tear down everything and start from scratch because i need to make room for the water truck that will fill up my new pool. after the water truck is gone i will make a track specifically for the RCMT world finals.

[4bluethunder]

So it doesnt have reverse

[CmonsterFreak]

@4bluethunder nope. with a nitro, reverse is very difficult. electrics just make the motor spin the opposite way, but you can't do that to a nitro engine so you have to get a different transmission and i'm pretty sure they don't offer one for this truck.. yet

[monsterjam0329]

will u be making the las vegas track from this year

[CmonsterFreak]

@monsterjam0329 i hope so, but it is going to take a lot more dirt than what i have got right now.

[monsterjam0329]

wat happen to the truck where u broke the front axel

[CmonsterFreak]

@monsterjam0329 that is the same truck. i got it fixed, and now i am driving a little more cautiously.

[thedknuckles]

I gotta ask, are you using cereal boxes as part of your track? My kids have done! they use everything to bash with or on!

[CmonsterFreak]

@thedknuckles yup. i will pretty much use anything at my disposal to have fun :)

[mtcthor]

Why can't you just take 2 tires/wheels from the Wheely King when your driving the Nitro King and put them back on when your driving the Wheely King?

[CmonsterFreak]

@mtcthor thats a good suggestion but since the wheely king of mine is 2 years old the tires are really worn out, especially since i have had the diffs locked. so i glued the hex hubs in the wheel well so it wont slip, so that means that they wont fit on the nitro king. plus the nitro king is just too powerful to be using old tires. like in this video i don't think i went full throttle.

[mtcthor]

@CmonsterFreak Okay

[RomBomj2]

I'm guessing were gonna see the Ground Pounder Freestyle at Atlanta next?

[CmonsterFreak]

@RomBomj2 unfortunately not, the ground pounder was broken at the time :(

[RomBomj2]

@CmonsterFreak Aaww, that sucks.

[CmonsterFreak]

@RomBomj2 its funny that you say that now, because i just got the ground pounder fixed and it freaking rips!

[RCCrashMaster]

my emaxx cant freestyle worth shit,it tips foward in mid air

[CmonsterFreak]

@RCCrashMaster just try to stay in the throttle more in mid air, or add weight to the back, or get rid of weight in the front. its worth a shot.

[RCCrashMaster]

@CmonsterFreak i already tryied that and thats how i broke the shock tower

[BUSSARDRACING]

@RCCrashMaster dude i got a stock e-max ive had it 4 2 year it is a dam good truckit never noses ovr ceck out my vids

[jdshark000]

is this still old footage?

[CmonsterFreak]

@jdshark000 yup

[MonsterTruckRally666]

Looks good! I hope I get to see at least one RCMT entry from this truck as well.

[CmonsterFreak]

@MonsterTruckRally666 if i ever get the darn thing fixed, but im trying

[racinboy234567]

also to add on the lockers story. Im getting them so even if its on 1 wheel the tires are all stopping cause yesterday it was wet and was getting great grip and doing some nice speed and when i went to stop it did a stoppie onto one wheel and flew full speedish into the garage door. It blew the tops of the rear shocks out and moved the whole motor down! so im makin sure that dont happen again lol

[racinboy234567]

OH i just bought lockers for mine!!!!

[CmonsterFreak]

@racinboy234567 I'm not getting lockers for mine, thats just too much power to have locked diffs. but it will be interesting to see at least. And yes, i want to get the mud thrashers but i need $.

[racinboy234567]

see i had to get the rubber ones because i broke the plastic ones off the bead lmao

[CmonsterFreak]

@racinboy234567 lol the only things i have broke are the steering knuckles. a good example would be my other nitro monster king video from December. and i also broke the pull start the other day. those damn things are so random and fragile!

[racinboy234567]

my pull starter came all the way out one day and i was mad so i hit the truck and it sucked it right back in lmao.

[CmonsterFreak]

@racinboy234567 yeah it did that to me many times then one day it decided to not snap back in, instead the recoil just snapped and now im waiting on the nitro starter

[racinboy234567]

tell me how that nitro starter is because i was thinking about grtting one for mine lol

[racinboy234567]

get rubber tires like me lmao

[monsterjamkid2]

atlanta 2010? amazing air btw!
